You try to disable the Compatibility View feature in Windows Internet Explorer 8 by enabling the Turn off Compatibility View Group Policy setting. However, after you enable the Turn off Compatibility View policy, the Web sites that you added to your Compatibility View sites list are still displayed in Compatibility View.

Note To see the list of major sites that you chose to visit in Compatibility View, click Compatibility View Settings on the Tools menu in Internet Explorer 8.

This behavior is by design. After you enable the Turn off Compatibility View policy, you cannot manage the Compatibility View sites list. Compatibility View is still used when you visit a site that is already on your Compatibility View sites list.

If you want to stop using Compatibility View for any Web sites while the Turn off Compatibility View Group Policy is enabled, you must reset Internet Explorer settings and delete some personal settings. To do this, follow these steps:

Exit all programs. This includes Internet Explorer 8 if it is running.

If you use Windows XP, click Start, and then click Run. Type the following command in the Open box, and then press ENTER:

inetcpl.cpl

If you use Windows Vista, click Start, type the following command in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER:

inetcpl.cpl

The Internet Options dialog box appears.

Click the Advanced tab.

Under Reset Internet Explorer settings, click Reset.

Click to select the Delete personal settings check box, and then click Reset.
